Donkey is stepping out of Shrek’s shadow after DreamWorks confirmed the wisecracking sidekick will lead his own standalone film – with Eddie Murphy returning to voice the fan-favourite character in an origin story due in cinemas in 2028.
The animated feature, titled Donkey!, is scheduled for release on 30 June 2028 and will explore how the talkative companion first became the character audiences met in the original Shrek.
